Diel habitat-use patterns of commercially important fishes in a marine protected area in the Philippines
The diel habitat-use patterns of commercially important fishes in a small marine protected area (MPA) (0.31 km2) containing coral reef and seagrass habitats were examined by passive acoustic telemetry during 2011 and 2012. The occurrence patterns of the target fishes both inside and outside the MPA...
